###&*$\~-¨ trains are so constructed that they ¨-~\$*##
&$\\--¨¨¨¨ have to follow a set path. this path is ¨¨¨¨--\\$&
##&*\--¨¨¨ called a "railway", which is comprised ¨¨¨--\*#
###&*$\~-¨ of two metal rails, hence its nickname. ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ because the low friction between the ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ wheels of the train and the rail metal, ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ there are limits for how acute a curve ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ can be, and even more so for how much ¨-~\$*##
##&*$$\~-¨ the ground under the rails can be ¨-~\$$*#
&$$~¨¨¨¨¨¨ sloped. thus a railway is often not led ¨¨¨¨¨¨~$$&
###&*$\~-¨ on top of hills, rather through them in ¨-~\$*##
#&$\-¨¨¨¨¨ tunnels (if they are large), or ¨¨¨¨¨-\$
#*\~-¨¨¨¨¨ artificial chasms. ¨¨¨¨¨-~\*#
&$\~¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨~\$&
###&*$\~-¨ there will be trees on the side of the ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ rails, but not too close, or they will ¨-~\$*##
#&&*\\-¨¨¨ be cut down by the railway janitors. ¨¨¨-\\*&
###&*$\~-¨ there will be plains, and bodies of ¨-~\$*##
#&*$\\-¨¨¨ water. ¨¨¨-\\$*
###&*$\~-¨ ¨-~\$*##
####&$\~-¨ trains go by day and by night. along ¨-~\$###
#&&&*$\~-¨ the way, there is information ¨-~\$*&&
###&*$\~-¨ scattered, often put on top of poles, ¨-~\$*##
#&*\~¨¨¨¨¨ to be interpreted by the train drivers. ¨¨¨¨¨~\*
####&*\~-¨ different parts of the railway have ¨-~\*###
###&*$\~-¨ different speed limits. ¨-~\$*##
##&*$$\~-¨ ¨-~\$$*#
&&$\~~~¨¨¨ sometimes, trains have to stop and wait ¨¨¨~~~\$&&
#&*\~~~~-¨ for something to happen, far away. this ¨-~~~~\*
&$$~-¨¨¨¨¨ is signaled by red or green lights. ¨¨¨¨¨-~$$&

####&*$~-¨ many people follow the rails by foot. ¨-~$*###
###&*$\~-¨ often this proves to be the shorter ¨-~\$*##
###&*$\~-¨ path between two points. however this ¨-~\$*##
&*\\~~¨¨¨¨ is frowned upon, and very impolite ¨¨¨¨~~\\*&
